Seeking immortality: Aubrey de Grey at TEDxSalford

Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that aging is merely a disease -- and a curable one at that. Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted. Aubrey claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born. With his astonishingly long beard, wiry frame and penchant for bold and cutting proclamations, de Grey is a magnet for controversy. A computer scientist, self-taught biogerontologist and researcher, he has co-authored journal articles with some of the most respected scientists in the field.

    I'm going to live forever, or die trying. There is no limit to the things I would do for the ability to be alive in a billion years. Its tragic that i may die having never seen even a fraction of a percent of all the infinite wonder there is in the universe, simply because my body and mind are programmed to fall apart after awhile.

    We are living in an era in which immortality is within the grasp of many people living today. Those who live long enough to see the singularity in 2045 will see an explosion in anti-aging technology. Remember, technological progress is exponential, not linear. Though we see very little in terms of anti-aging today, you can be sure that it will soon sky-rocket. It's an exciting time to be alive.

    I'll be 62, October 2023. I went back to school in 2010 to do graduate work in Gerontology. I WISH I could have seen Dr. Aubrey de Grey speak, but never have. I think this guy is brilliant. I was hired (at USC) to work on the tail end of a 40+ year longitudinal study on Alzheimer's (a tragic cognitive disease). I was responsible for cognitive testing (and some gofer work being new in the field at 49 - lol). This guy is my hero as I've always had a fascination for longevity and immortality. I wrote a successful memoir in 2022 called "Alive After Dying" (not about life after death) and will be releasing book 1 of a sci-fi trilogy incorporating some of Dr. de Grey's theories called "Her Immortal Menagerie" literally this weekend. I would never have thought about releasing it if it hadn't been for this amazing man.

    Have been a big fan of Aubrey de grey and his SENS organization. Death from aging is something I hope fewer or fewer of us will die from. In the future, hopefully death by aging will be an optional thing. Those that embrace aging are welcome to die from it, that's your choice, and we will respect your choice. But the rest of us will choose to transcend aging. As we age, our risks of developing cancer, and dementia such as Alzheimer disease increase exponentially. I for one would not want myself nor any other person to be subjected to such cruelty.

    Usad Rebs I don't think you understand me or the transhumanist movement. If you look at people who consider themselves transhumanists, they are generally liberal left, or libertarian right. Generally Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul type supporters. We generally oppose over reach of government and of course would condemn any form of genocide or forcible moving of individuals. You seem to be saying that we will treat you just as the Europeans will treat the native Americans. This is not the case. We want everyone to be free, in fact this is the one basis of the transhumanist movement: to be freer from things like pathology from aging. Empathy will never be obsolete, it encourages understanding to how others feel and invites us to be friendly individuals. If I had the ability to reprogram myself, infact I would reprogram out anger and hatred and even increase my capacity for empathy. Another thing: Where are you getting this idea that we will not respect your choice? Hornestly we really don't care whether or not you choose to upgrade your body or not nor will we support committing war crimes or CAH such as forcible moving of people in the way you describe.

    First of all, transhumanists are not part of the "elite". None of us are congressmen or lobbyists. I can tell you as someone who regularly talks to individuals who identify as "transhumanists", that they are not narcissistic. The likes of David Pierce, Aubrey De Grey, and many friends do really want to eradicate suffering to the world. They really are interested in saving many lives, and not just their own. As Aubrey stated, aging causes a lot of suffering and kills 100,000 lives every single day. Many of us, such as Machine Intelligence Research Institute are also quite concerned with potential abuse of advanced AI and are researching safeguards for such tech. Our goals are not purely about saving the self, it's about saving as many individuals as possible from involuntary death, and reducing involuntary suffering.

    Always great to see SENS continuing to progress. A lot of people are going to look back decades from now and be very thankful to Aubrey de Grey. We're still at that stage of life where the majority of people are still under a state of learned denial. I call them aging deniers. They deny that aging is the number 1 problem facing humanity. And yet this is so mathematically obvious it requires redefinition of words in order to keep the denial up. People redefine "Natural" to mean good, instead of the state of nature without any human intervention. Human intervention can be bad, but it can also be good. Reversing aging is a good intervention in the same way that putting up mosquito nets to conquer malaria is a good intervention. People redefine "Population" to me problem, instead of the number of people alive. No person is a problem unless they are incapable of caring for themselves in a sustainable fashion. It turns out that there are only 2 groups of people who can't care for themselves sustainably. Those who haven't been trained well enough to do it, and those who aren't healthy enough to do it. What will happen, once aging maintenance is solved, is that the proportion of people are aren't healthy enough to do it will be an ever diminishing percentage, and with the additional health, the proportion of people not trained enough to do it will also be an ever diminishing percentage, and the world will be getter. Between SENS and the NIA's research into the mechanisms of aging, the spend on anti-aging research is ridiculously small. I am so glad SENS is there to make help it work and hope people start getting the message more over time. This is a real solution to the biggest problem facing the world today. And it i the best solution we've yet seen.

    Megalodon I have seen how it is sold to everyone that population is a "Problem" on late night ads for aid to developing countries. They always show pictures of war torn areas with backward governments and crazy dictators and say, "See, Population is a time bomb." This, of course, is not some new theory. It goes back to Thomas Malthus the late 18th century when the world population was 1 billion and the prediction was that it couldn't sustain 1.5 billion. What all of the "Population, oh my!" people keep failing to understand is that people are not just born with mouths to feed. They are also born with hands to work and minds to invent. Let's suppose "Population" were the issue everyone says it is. Then what do you think would be a more expensive place to buy land, Tombstone Arizona, or New York, New York? "Population" is not an issue. But lets say that it was an issue. Then let's do a study and find out what are the factors that have the biggest mathematical impact on population? Is it A. Number of children per couple? B. How soon child bearing begins? C. Age at death? It turns out that this is the mathematical order of importance. A is far more important than B. B is far more important than C. The effect of A is a high geometric effect. The effect of B is a low geometric effect. The effect of C is a low linear effect. But put the math books aside and actually do the research. Go around the world and find where the population growth is that greatest. You will find that you can list the roughly 200 countries of the world. And you can compare their population growth rates (through birth, not immigration) against their life expectancy. From what you are saying, the longest lived populations should be the fastest growing. In fact it is the exact opposite. It is the shortest lived populations that are the fastest growing, and many western countries with very long life spans have populations that are stable or nearly shrinking, but for the immigration coming from the rapid growth in parts of the world with the lowest longevity. I understand that intuition is misleading here. People think the big deal is insuring the death rate continues, but the age of death is way way down the list, and is, surprisingly, a counter-indicator of population growth rate. How can this be? It's simple. The long people live, the more they delay having their first children. In short-lived countries women are having children in their teens, and having 4 or more children. In long lived countries women are waiting till their mid twenties and having, on average, just over 2 children, and that average is dropping over time (as more women choose to now have children, or to just have 1). What causes trouble in the world is not the number of people, but how those people live. If they live intelligently, the carrying capacity of the world is far higher than it is now. And in the process, the total wealth of the world enables technologies that are not now possible, including oceanic habitats, underground building, and even space elevator technology to vastly reduce the cost of building in space using materials mined in space. But even without those advances, there is no imminent population crunch from people not dying. The added health and working lives of people would create such a boom in the ability to do massive development projects that earth could easily house 10 times it's current population. And as the birth rate drops below 2, the growth curve reaches a curve that doesn't leap up boundlessly, but reaches a maximum point. "Population?" Behind that fear is the concept that there will be no new farmers, or no new technologies. But our technology is at the infancy. We are just barely starting to learn how chemistry and biochemistry works. We cannot yet make meat from sunlight and air, but we should be able to, because that is exactly what plants and animals, working together do. The plants use sunlight to turn Carbon Dioxide, water and a handful of trace minerals into food. The animals turn that food into meat. People think we are advanced now, but within 3 decades we'll have mastered all of that. People are already 3D printing meat now that was not grown on an animal. If you look at history, we have the lowest percentage of starving people ever in history. And if you ignored war torn areas that percentage would be vanishingly small. And this is despite the fact that we have 7 times what the earth had the first time we were worried about population killing us. Everyone who looks at population with fear doesn't understand how far we are from the limits of technology, and doesn't appreciate how having more people helps technology advance faster. You'd think after over 200 years of seeing this work people would figure it out by now, but they don't. They, like you, are too naive to do the research.

    It's a shame that Aubrey's time on the stage is limited and consequently, this presentation comes off as too rushed. From a scientific perspective, cell-maintenance is a very viable and realistic proposition. Our societal structure has implemented in the majority's minds that aging is a perfectly acceptable phenomenon but realistically, it's a phenomenon that we have become conditioned to because everyone watching these videos grew up with age-related deaths around us. Think of the wisdom that our species can acquire through a lifespan of 500-1000 years or more. The knowledge, the innovation, the memories, the accomplishments. The universe is a vast terrain and curing aging along with equally ambitious projects such as space colonization can give rise to unlimited possibilities to our species. I marvel at the fact that I am alive and conscious in a time where such innovative ideas are being talked about as a possibility. Here's to immortality, infinite wisdom and unlimited potential for exploration. Here's to Science!

    I'll be 62, October 2023. I went back to school in 2010 to do graduate work in Gerontology. I WISH I could have seen Dr. Aubrey de Grey speak, but never have. I think this guy is brilliant. I was hired (at USC) to work on the tail end of a 40+ year longitudinal study on Alzheimer's (a tragic cognitive disease). I was responsible for cognitive testing (and some gofer work being new in the field at 49 - lol). This guy is my hero as I've always had a fascination for longevity and immortality. I wrote a successful memoir in 2022 called "Alive After Dying" (not about life after death) and will be releasing book 1 of a sci-fi trilogy incorporating some of Dr. de Grey's theories called "Her Immortal Menagerie" literally this weekend. I would never have thought about releasing it if it hadn't been for this amazing man. He's younger than I am. He just turned 60 on April 20th. He was born in 1963. He delights in looking old. lol

    People always ask the wrong questions. To me, the question should be: DO YOU want to live forever? Because you're not being forced to. And I suspect, the majority of people (especially religious people) will be content to just live out their 80 years and meet their God. But those few who do want to learn to play more musical instruments, read more books, or be able to travel in space and reach Neptune while still young, would be interested in this. Don't worry about overpopulation. although I suspect that some years along some religious people will begin to envy the long lived people and will think... "Why not? AFter all, God has forever to wait up there. What's the rush?" And this drug will be expensive so only the most dedicated people will want to spend money on it. :) The best part is the earliest beneficiaries to this might be our pet cats and dogs. And that's definitely a huge plus. How would you like your best friend to live as long as yourself? :)

    Jonathan Smith Hi Jonathan, maybe this is for you: Live longer, healthier, more stamina even at old ripe age, healthy skin, more wealth...and more importantly, more time for ourselves, our beloved ones and last but not least...more time to care for other people, helping people's lives.....yess, I guess most of you will agree with me. But the big question is HOW are we going to do that? It seems only a dream that can be reached by wealthy people. It is true-yesterday! However with fast growing technology, internet and good people, this is possible and even for average people like myself .... This resveratrol is maybe one of the answers available on earth right now among other things. It helps many people with diabetic problem, some cancer diseases, neural problems, fertility, et cetera. How is this possible? The answer perhaps lays that this resveratrol is solving the root cause of the problem. It cures and fixes or repairs on cell level. CMIIW. It happens to my mother's friend anyway. How am I get to this resveratrol thing? This is possible by one product that is patented called RESERVE by Jeunesse company. The product is kind of edible gel with patented special packaging and also is Halal. You can see the product in uncle google or here www.gandaria.jeunesseglobal.com Hope by sharing this and my franchise online store, I could help many people changing their lives for the better , live healthier or even better make them a millionaire (a part from resveratrol, Jeunesse is having an e-commerce business platform with global dropshipping and network marketing pattern that is possible to make the business grow fast). It is my dream to make 1000 millionaire in 2020 and see people lives in healthier, wealthier, happier, respect and loving and peaceful world.

    wat? source? And he didn't say "today" he said in the next few decades. Of course it will take a while to get results and a working therapy, especially if they DON'T get enough support. Also he said (in another talk or interview) that these therapies, in the start, will not give you an indefinite lifespan, but rather an extension of 20 years, or 50 years (I don't exactly remember numbers he said), which will give us more time to wait for improvements with further extensions of the lifespan and so on, until we have the real thing. This is why Aubrey de Grey believes that the first person to live to being a thousand years old is already alive today.

    look guys. don't wanna sound stupid or anything but isn't the whole point of lack of resources and everything because people ONLY live so many years and therefor arn't really planning long term?? if suddenly humans can double or pretty much live forever.(not really seeing as EVERYTHING ends eventually) but knowing they have a greater expanse of time to live wouldn't their planning change to encompass that then? also as for money. there are literally dozens of ways to make money. some are TIME CONSUMING though. but if you have hundreds-thousands of years, taking time to make money is no longer that big a deal is it? letting money sit in the bank and gather interest would take a LONG time. but if you have the time and can keep adding to the amount in the bank eventually you hit a point where you could live off the interest right? as for limited resources. if(when, maybe) humanity gains some kinda psuedo-immortality, won't there become certain rules, limitations set? also on the point of criminals. somehow I do not think people would waste whatever resource it is to make humanity immortal on people who are gonna serve life sentences anyway(imagine then it would be 2 or 3 life sentences) but then why not just say you spend the next 160 years in jail barring good behavior :/ no i don't think they would make criminals immortal(and that is IF the damn concept can EVER actually become a reality) and besides. there will be plenty of religious nuts and fanatics saying we shouldn't. the answer is simple then. you don't HAVE to. but some things should be made to continue on. especially those who could HELP(people who could use this amount of time to better humanity, or who could teach future generations of things they will NEED.)

    De Grey cherry picked the aging costs, unfortunately, to prove his point; and a man like him is certainly knowledgeable enough to be able to recognize and avoid a fallacy like that, a fallacy loved by sly politicians. Yes, aging related diseases cost a lot of money, that's unquestionable. But what about the pension money, planetary resources, environmental impact, CO2 etc etc spared by the pensioners' deaths? What would the total former cost be in relation to the total latter costs if the mean life expectancy skyrocketed to 120 years, on a planet of 7+ billion people? Don't get me wrong, I am all for a 150 year life expectancy or even immortality. But it would destroy us if we achieved that before having the means to escape our planet. If that happens while we are still trapped on Earth, before being able to start colonizing space, it would be an open invitation for a full blown WW3. Later on, the remaining survivors can forget any dream of conquering space for at least 100 years, while "living" on a planetary hell. If this research goes head to head with colonization specific space expeditions, I am all for it, but assessing it independently of our space efforts is meaningless at best, very dangerous at worst.

    Escaping the planet wouldn't be needed. The same technology needed to do this 'age maintenance' would also help us to minimise the ill effects of overpopulation.

    Nikolaos Skordilis I know this was two months ago, but they said we would all die of starvation if our population kept expanding. We kept expanding, and we're doing just fine (relatively speaking). I'm not trying to be a dick, but humans have shown time and time again that we can overcome any problem when we get a swift kick in the ass to get us working on it.

    i believe the way you fight ageing is, through being creative in your mind, like doing tapestries or draw pictures writing poems quotes and stories, not worrying about dying because you come back to do it again anyway, i like his integrity to try and look at ageing as a disease, but there is no such thing as death anyway, you get reborn as someone else, and if you look after yourself in this life, you will be given a fresh young look in the next life, so my motto is PARTY PARTY PARTY, ok

    A spirit is a non matter, no form, but pure energy, emaneted from the Divine, out of love, created simple and ignorant, with endless oportunity to exist for ever, it will never die, it has no sex, it only can evolve, learn and grow, when it is incarnated in a physical organic body, if it chooses not to incarnate, it will not learn and become what it is meant to be; a divine being like its creator. As evolution takes its course in the universe, the same way is our spirit. It is it that actually gives the body its life with function and not simple electricity runing in our brains. Remember, the Creator of this whole universe, also created Spiritual, Moral, Physical and Moral Laws; if we break one of them, we will have to return (reincarnation) to earth to expiate our errs. The Creator is all LOVE. If you wish to learn more, get the Spirits Book by Allan Kardec

    My Spirit was created from a Particle of the Divine's own Spirit, as anyone else's were; the ones you are referring to are detectable energies from a 3 or more dimensional universe or universes. Some argue that we are billions of years old, and that we have lived in other solar systems or galaxies before, and that the Spirituality or Guide Spirits/Entities or God, whatever way one wants to call IT?? That this whole thing was engineered by a superior Force. Since at the present moment we can not understand and grasp it in its entire infinity. It was given to us another opportunity of a life time, to make it right, to grow and evolve as Spiritual Beings in the Agape Love, as we are meant to be; anything else out of Love brings suffering. I am not sure if I answered your question.

    ***** I am not an expert on this subject, in fact I am very new on this. As I mentioned before about Allan kardec books (19th C French Scientist and French language pedagogical expert, lived in Paris), if you look him up you will come across several books written by him (some are fully translated from the original French language to Portuguese/English/Spanish/German and other languages), he is considered the Spiritualist Teaching Codifier. Also, several books have been psycho-graphically-written by mediums all over the world, specifically in Brazil. To explain exactly how sometime we have this "Knowledge", I would have to open up my life as a book on this platform, and I don't want to do that. I would like to say that I do believe in science, but I strongly believe that there are a spiritual world out there or in here right now, beyond science, eventually Quantum-physics will explain Spirituality.

    I am talking about medium-ship with all their abilities. Scientists are not looking into that. They would have to transcend science. I am talking about spiritual things that can only be understood spiritually. You are trying to rationalize what is spiritual with science. That is why I suggested you to read about it in those books. No one can define this subject in few words in a blog like this one. To have knowledge is to read and to be able to read things between the lines by opening our minds to what Spirituality is trying to show us. I've had experiences with what is Spiritual for many years, in fact, I was born in a environment where mostly people believe in it. As i said, I am not an expert, I am a student, but I can not deny the Spiritual Realm, at this point in my life it is impossible.

    Can we please not get ahead of ourselves? The talk was about increasing longevity through maintaining the body. Grey himself doesnt say at the end of this process people will be immortal. In fact, he was talking about how this kind of approach against age-related health issues are getting more effective, better, wide spread etc. Most times, passing time in science, while brings new oppurtunities and benefits, brings also new problems. We just dont know how it will go down and everybody talking about immortality. These efforts will extend human life significantly on the long run, in the same way antibiotics extended average life expectancy. But even in our wildest dreams there will be disintegration, decay and death for all things when we compare anything with "eternity".

    It disturbs me that some people like de Grey think that humans beings are something special, that our species has a right, in nature, to have some kind of entitlement to immortality. In reality, in the material world, we have an equal status in nature with all other life forms; and like them, we are bound by the continuum of biological changes. Still, our species is fortunate. We live considerably longer than most other species. But to suggest that we must find a way to become immortal is a waste of our valuable time. It is no more a possibility than trying to avoid ever having to sleep, or to eat or drink. As for the mystery of death, it is not mysterious at all. Whatever your date of birth was, the time prior to that date will be the same beyond when you die. We didn't miss being alive when we weren't alive, and we won't miss it after we're gone. Why would you worry about death, then, when you're alive, since you can only worry about it when you're alive - not when you're dead.

    But being alive is what gives us the fear of death. The unknown factor of what comes next. And if this is our only chance to ever experience life, why waste it? And why not make it longer to get the most out of it? When I say this,, I mean it for every person. Every person is important. There will only be one me and there will never be another one. Life is important and no one is to say that we don't deserve to live longer than other animals. It's just that we are intelligent enough to value life and think abstract. A cat will never truly understand its own life and even if there was something after death, wouldn't even notice.

    +X- Wolf Thanks for your reply here. In respect to your first point: it's irrational to fear not being alive when you are alive, since you cannot fear death when you are not living. Consciousness equates to life, not death. You never could fear death when you had not yet been born because there was no you, no consciousness; the same non-fear will occur after you die, where there will be no consciousness and hence no fear. Your second point: my response is that we're wasting our time worrying about death and the fear of it when it's inevitable - and this can be blended in with my first response above. Your third point: yes, every person is important, to themselves and to those who value them - but not to the material world. Your life is no more important to the material world than is a single cell microbe, or an arctic penguin. After all, all species, not only each individual or each "important" person, will eventually become extinct. You cannot fight nature. The last point of yours: we are indeed intelligent enough to value life, yes, but this can be instinctual, too - like the cockroach that tries to hide on your kitchen bench top when it's sighted. As for the cat, well, if you own one, please keep in mind that you don't actually own it. The cat owns you. ; - ) Finally, I do agree that we can become mindful of taking better care of ourselves through education. Having said that, most people struggle with work and very low real wages that makes them time poor. Finding time to devote oneself to home cooked meals and exercise, then, becomes difficult. de Grey would not have to concern himself with these problems as he's wealthy, which would give him a different perception of reality. Certainly, if de Grey shows, however, that he can cater for everyone, that we can have healthy ageing for everybody, without exception, then I'd be sold. But, in reality, most people on this planet go to bed hungry every night, and that in itself is evermore the immediate problem.

    +Meshwork123 In the end though, it's not about wether we deserve it or not. There is no one to set those boundaries or say wrong from right. But it is something that humans want and are going to go nonstop at the idea. That's just human nature. Any living being with abstract thought and high intelligence would think the same. Because we value this one chance way to much to waste it and not give it our all to keep living, so that when the time comes that something amazing happens, we don't miss it.

    +X- Wolf You seem to misunderstand many of my points as I've detailed above. I cannot be anymore explicit. We humans are nothing special, and all of us, even inanimate objects, are bound by the laws of nature in a material world. What you or de Grey wants carries no weight. Our species will cease to exist, as we will, as individuals. Evolution relies on the nitrogen cycle. Evolution is why you and I are here. Evolution dictates your destiny. Just be thankful that our species has not completed its evolution (unlike the shark and crocodile which don't for example get cancer); we haven't been here long, so there's plenty of evolutionary potential left - if we don't destroy ourselves first. But to think that you or I, or de Grey for that matter, can experience longevity well beyond a reasonable expectation is nothing short of nonsense. Yes, we can certainly postpone death with clean eating and a healthy BMI, but don't expect miracles. Just enjoy the time you have and help others.
